I do not claim that Alexa is accurate, I'm just pointing out that Spanish
Wikipedia has at least a significant amount of traffic and users in order be
very vidible on Commons. On the other hand, closing the uploads on a
1000-article Wikipedia of course won't impact on Commons.

never stop the problem, because people just don't care, they just want
to upload an image, and they do not care about licensing, and I'm not
very optimistic in that sense. Most of them are new users. The problem
is seen on the Spanish Wikipedia users just because it is a very
active Wikipedia (the second in number of accesses according Alexa)
PLEASE (this is offtopic for the conversation but I think it's important
to set this straight)
Alexa's numbers are derived from measurements done from users of Alexa's
toolbar, which is available only in English. As a consequence, its
measurements are meaningful only for anglophone users. Alexa's numbers
CANNOT be used to compare the number of accesses of the various languages!
(If I were to make a wild guess, I'd think that the large number of
hispanophones with the Alexa toolbar are from the "Hispanic" population
in the US.)
